According to Bombulie's blog, Biss was cut during last night's game and lost a good amount of blood through an artery on his wrist. Fortunately the EMT's at the arena were able to stop the bleeding and get him to the hospital. Hope he has a speedy recovery

a Bissonnette update, in his own words. "I can’t feel my thumb. They said I might not regain feeling in my thumb. I’m about 50 percent on my first two fingers. Two of the tendons were (damaged) and they had to close off the one artery. That’s why I was gushing all over the ice." He said he hopes to be able to grip a hockey stick again in four months.

Even if he does make a full recovery, it doesn't sound like fighting would be advisable after this type of injury. I hope everything works out for him and he can resume his career and be a Pittsburgh Penguin again one day.
